The Europubhealth+ programme is an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree that has been recognized as a Master of excellence by the European Commission since 2006. In 2016, the Executive Agency for Education, Audiovisual and Culture (EACEA) has renewed its financial support to the programme for five more years.

ERASMUS+: Erasmus Mundus excellence scholarships

The Europubhealth+ consortium awards Erasmus+: Erasmus Mundus scholarships to the best candidates who apply before the indicated deadline each year.

When creating an online profile, applicants must choose the relevant category based on the following rules:

Programme Countries are the 28 EU member states, Macedonia, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Turkey. A Partner Country is any other country of the world that is not a Programme Country as mentioned above.

Students are considered as Partner Countries students when:

They are citizens of a Partner Country.

They are not residents nor have carried out their main activity (studies, training or work) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in any Programme Country (This five-year reference period is calculated backwards as from January 2018 The 12-months residency rule should not apply to the candidates who for various reasons and under various circumstances have sought refuge and received a refugee status in a Programme Country).

Students with a Partner Country citizenship who do not fulfil the Partner Country criteria defined above (12-months rule) count as Programme Country students.

Students whose citizenship is one of the Programme Countries count as Programme Country students.

Students with a double nationality (of a Partner and of a Programme Country) must specify the nationality under which they submit their application.

Scholarship amount

EMJMD scholarships cover travel expenses, participation costs and living costs for the entire duration of the Master course (max. 47,000€ for the two-year course). The total amount of the grant can vary according to the nationality and the place of residence of the scholarship holder. Therefore, a proof of the current place of residence at the time of application is mandatory to provide at application stage when applying for a scholarship.

The Erasmus Mundus eligibility criteria that are specific to the scholarship:

Students who have already obtained an Erasmus Mundus scholarship at Master/Doctoral level are not eligible for an additional scholarship within the Europubhealth+ programme.

Students benefiting from an Erasmus Mundus scholarship cannot benefit from another EU grant while pursuing their Europubhealth+ studies.

Students can apply to a maximum of three different Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degrees.

Scholarship holders spending part of the Europubhealth+ course in their country of residence are not entitled to benefit from the monthly subsistence allowance for this period.

Students must be committed to studying full time during the two years of the Europubhealth+ Master course.

ERASMUS+ mobility grant for Year 2

Europubhealth+ self-funded students who do not already benefit from an Erasmus Mundus excellence scholarship may be entitled to receive an Erasmus+ mobility grant during their second year specialisation in the programme. The Erasmus+ grant is not means tested and is available to students of all nationalities. The Erasmus+ grant (around 200-300€ per month depending on the destination country) is only intended to assist students with additional costs incurred during the second year of study. It is not enough to cover all expenses and should not be relied on for essential living costs such as food and rent.

ERASMUS+ Master degree loans

Erasmus+ Master Degree Loans are EU-guaranteed loans with favourable pay-back terms that can help you finance a Master course.

The scheme is designed to support postgraduate students and protect them from student hardship with social safeguards including:

No need for collateral from students or parents, ensuring equality of access

Favourable, better than market interest rates

Pay-back terms that allow graduates up to two years to find work before beginning repayment.

Currently the scheme is being made available through banks in Spain, France, UK and Turkey for outgoing students from these countries pursuing postgraduate study abroad and students from other Programme countries going to Spain or UK for a Master course.
